Phoenix police fatally shot a man they say stole a vehicle and fled from officers near 19th Avenue and Monroe Street near the Arizona Capitol on Wednesday morning, Phoenix police officials said.

Police identified Henry Wayne Rivera on Thursday as the 30-year-old man who was shot and killed Wednesday morning as officers were searching for another man in connection with an unrelated crime spree.

The man who was shot had several outstanding warrants. Police said no weapon was found by him.

The two officers involved were not named, but identified only as a 46-year-old male officer, with 23 years of service, and a 36-year-old male officer, with 15 years of service.

Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix Police Department spokesman, said no officers were hurt in the shooting.
